Abstract
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, which is also called as Chronic Myeloid Leukemia is a white blood cell cancer. The main characteristic of this form of leukemia is chaotic increase in growth of myeloid cells in bone marrow. These cells get accumulated in blood. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia is a clonal bone marrow stem cell disorder whereupon, proliferation of mature granulocytes (Neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils) and their precursors occurs. In this, translocation of chromosome called Philadelphia chromosome is characteristically found associated with myeloproliferative neoplasm. We report a case of 26 years old female patient who is having the clinical presentations of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. In this case, the patient is having the substantial increase in the white blood cell count and the conditions of Hepatomegaly, Splenomegaly and Grade-I bilateral parenchymal changes. The treatment given to the patient was mainly aimed to control and decrease the white blood cell count.
